By the time you finish reading this article, you will understand why collagen and elastin products are not very helpful in keeping your skin looking young and healthy.
You will also appreciate what is meant by the term, collagen and elastin enhancers.
Once you know these differences, you will be better prepared for all of your future purchases when you try to find the best skin care products.
First of all, it would seem a good idea to find out why products that contain these substances cannot improve the quality or appearance of your skin.
The reason is really quite simple and it is due to the fact that their proteins are actually too large to penetrate the outer layer of your skin.
So why would any company produce a cream containing such substances? Again, the answer is simply because they are jumping on the bandwagon of the belief that anyone can have beautiful skin if they believe the marketing hype in the glossy magazines and television adverts.
Even if advances in medical science could allow these proteins to pass through your skin, they would not be able to be incorporated into the complex structural matrix that already exists in your body.
To make sure that you are wasting your time or your money, you need to realise that an effective skin cream should contain natural substances that stimulate your body to produce more of its own collagen and elastin.
This will, of course, be beneficial in the long-term health for your skin.
Please do not let me confuse you by making you think that such things as injections are also what I might mean by collagen and elastin enhancers.
I do not include these because, even though they may work to improve your appearance, this improvement is short-lived.
They do not help your body to naturally produce its own substances and their contents will be reabsorbed into your body.
These enhancers do not contain these proteins themselves.
They contain natural substances that can help the body make more of its own.
Please note, however, that every product that says it will help stimulate your body to produce these proteins will work effectively.
My advice to you is to check out the primary ingredients and see if there is any scientific proof to back up the claims being made.
One very effective substance I should mention is called Cynergy TK.
It is becoming very well known in New Zealand where it has been developed and subjected to clinical testing.
Unfortunately, it is relatively unknown in the Western world.
Hopefully, it will become better known as the true requirements of good skin care creams become more understood.
